"This time, the victory of the Japanese Derby will not be given to Tamamo." "I won't show mercy either." Seeing the three horse girls’ high morale, Higashino Chihiro was very satisfied... No matter what the result is, now she must have the momentum and confidence that she will win the game. Chapter 37 Let’s decide the outcome! On the day of the Japan Derby, spectators from all over gathered at the Tokyo Racecourse. After sending Tamamo Cross and the others to the racecourse for pre-race warm-ups, Higashino Chihiro said something to Sakura Chiyo and the others, then walked out of the racecourse and looked around at the entrance. After looking around for a long time, a smile appeared on his face and he walked quickly in one direction. "Long time no see, Rokuhei-senpai! Kitahara-san!" Then he looked at Ma Niang who came with them and said, "You must be Oguruma's mother, right? Although we have talked on the phone many times, this is the first time we meet offline. Nice to meet you. I'm Higashino Chihiro." "You're welcome, Trainer Dongye."
Oguruma's mother bowed slightly, with a smile on her face. "You brought Oguruma to the Central Committee and helped her achieve such an impressive record in the Central Committee... As her mother, I am very proud. At the same time, I am very grateful for your care for Oguruma." "You're welcome. Actually, Oguruma is very talented and trains very hard." "Alright, alright, let's go inside and talk. An old man like me will be tired standing outside with you for so long." Chihiro Higashino took out a few front-row tickets that the Horse Racing Association had given him before, and brought Ginjiro Rokuhei and the others into the venue, to where the Surpass team was watching the game. "Eh? Trainer Liuping? Long time no see!" Maruzenski and Mejiro Aldan greeted Rokuhei Ginjiro in a friendly manner after seeing him. When their team was just formed, this old senior had helped and guided them many times, so they were quite familiar with each other. Sakura Chiyoou, Narita Daishin and the others also followed Maruzenski and the others to greet Trainer Rokuhei. "Long time no see. I haven't seen you guys for a while. You look more and more energetic. No wonder you guys keep winning games." Speaking of this, Rokuhei Ginjiro still felt a little emotional. In the blink of an eye, the newly established team has grown into one of the signature teams of Tresen Academy. "This is Trainer Kitahara, a trainer I met when I went to Gifu for internship. This is Oguruma's mother. They came all the way from Gifu this time because they wanted to see Oguruma's performance in the central arena with their own eyes." "Hello, I'm Xiao..." Mother of Li Mao, this is a little specialty I brought from my hometown. It is a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you can accept it. " Upon hearing that the person in front of them was actually Oguruma's mother, the horse girls hurriedly bowed and greeted her. After seeing the look that Chihiro Higashino gave them, they accepted the gifts while also complaining a little about why Chihiro Higashino didn't tell them in advance. It was the first time she met her teammate's mother and she didn't bring anything with her, and she still accepted the gift from her. It was too rash. "It's not that I didn't tell you in advance. Even I didn't receive the news until I arrived at the racecourse. And my aunt also specifically asked me not to tell anyone, for fear of affecting Little Chestnut's competition." The girls didn't care about all this and whispered to their aunt, leaving Higashino Chihiro with nothing but a helpless smile. This time, he really didn't know that Liu Ping Senior and the others would come, and he didn't expect that Xiao Li Mao's mother would also come to watch this game... Otherwise, he would definitely arrange things in advance and go to the station to pick them up instead of waiting for them at the racecourse.
"Trainer Dongye, who do you think will win this match?" Hearing her aunt's question, Higashino Chihiro smiled and shook her head, "Aunt, they are all horse girls in my team. I have the same confidence in them. In this game, whether you ask me or Aldan and the others, the answers you get are the same." "No matter who they are, they have a great chance of winning the Japanese derby...but who will win is uncertain, and even speculation is an even split." Little Chestnut's mother nodded. As a mother, she naturally hoped that Little Chestnut would win. Kitahara Jo, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching the game with some excitement... He actually hoped that Oguri would win. After all, he was more familiar with Oguri. More than a year ago, he also hoped that he could be Oguri's trainer... Although there is no chance, he still hopes that Oguri can fulfill her dream of winning the Japanese Derby Championship. And now, she is only one step away from this dream. Returning our attention to the racecourse, the horse racing ladies have begun to enter the gates one after another. In this game, Tamamo Cross is at No. 17, Oguri Hat is at No. 6, and Super Bay is at No. 10. To be honest, when seeing the result of the draw, Chihiro Higashino frowned. This time, Higashino Chihiro let the three horse girls draw the lots themselves... I also try my best to avoid any deviations in their competition caused by my own factors. But what I didn’t expect was that something that shouldn’t have happened still happened, the track at Tamamo Cross was too far to the outside. Although her tactic is to chase the horse, the impact will be minimized... but there is an impact. As for whether this will become a foreshadowing, Chihiro Higashino is not sure. After the track results were announced, many fans of Tamamo Cross expressed their uneasiness at the first time. After all, the gap between Ogururoshima and Tamamo Cross was very small last time, and they were both in the same team... There is no such thing as relying on special training to widen the gap. But no matter what, the track drawing has already ended... The horse racing ladies are already fully prepared and standing on the current competition field. Whether Tamamo Cross can overcome this opening disadvantage depends on her own performance. "Although I'm at the outermost gate, this time the victory will definitely belong to me!" Tamamo Cross did not feel uneasy or frustrated because her gate was in the outer circle... In her opinion, if she wanted to become the number one horse girl in Japan, she couldn't just rely on luck, but strength was more important. Just like in the last session, Maruzenski, who was a senior on the same team... He was also the No. 18 horse gate in the Japanese derby last year, and he was even more outgoing than she is now... But even in such a situation, Senior Maruzenski not only won the game with great momentum, but also opened up a huge gap with the second place. Tamamo Cross was also watching the match at the scene, and she was deeply impressed. "Hoo, Xiaoli, Xiaowan, let's fight it out!" Chapter 38 Derby "Game start!" Looking from the stands, the horse girls rushed out of the horse gate in unison. The horse girls on the inner lane ran hard towards the front, while the horse girls on the outer lane tried their best to shift their running routes towards the inner lane while moving forward. At the beginning of the race, Super Little Bay took the lead position with his extraordinary physical fitness, closely following the horse girl who used the lead release tactics, while accumulating his own leg strength.
Xiao Limao was not far behind Super Xiaowan. She kept her eyes on Super Xiaowan running in front of her, waiting for the opportunity to overtake. Although Tamamo Cross did not make any mistakes at the start, the impact of Track 17 is not so easy to eliminate. She is now at the end of the herd, which is 18th place. This position is a bit bad to say the least, but there were no problems at the beginning of the game... But later, when you make the final sprint around the fourth turn... the racing ladies in front of you will consciously block your best path to overtake, forcing you to shift to the outermost side when you want to accelerate, wasting time and energy. So Tamamo Cross usually runs and chases horses. This will put you around fifteenth place, not too far behind. There is really no other way out of the current situation. And there is no need to be impatient now. On the field, the most taboo thing is to have your rhythm disrupted... Once the rhythm is disrupted, the rate of physical strength consumption will accelerate, leading to the final stall. This has been verified by many predecessors, and Tamamo Cross does not want to verify it again personally. "The horses are moving very fast. The leading horse is only 200 meters away from the third bend." The commentator kept talking, reporting the current positions of the horse girls... However, when mentioning Tamamo Cross and Ogururo, he would say a few more words, and his attention mostly stayed on these two horse girls. Although Super Bay is also a member of the Surpass team...but compared to Tamamo Cross and Oguruma, people's recognition of Super Bay is actually lower. Because in the previous eight games, Super Little Bay had a record of seven wins out of eight. Although this record is also very impressive, it is still inferior to Tamamo Cross and Oguruma... After all, the best result of Super Little Bay's previous games was only G2. Although Super Xiaohaiwan has never expressed anything, Higashino Chihiro knows very well that in this Japanese derby, Super Xiaohaiwan also wants to prove himself. She wanted to prove that she was no worse than Tamamo Cross and Oguruma. "Now the leading horse girls have left the third bend and are about to enter the fourth bend. The final decisive battle is about to begin!" Entering the fourth turn is a signal that almost 99% of the horse racing girls... They will use the short few seconds before and after the fourth turn to accelerate and overtake or speed up to create distance with the horse girl behind. So at this moment, the audience stood up from the seats at the same time, and the overwhelming cheers resounded through the sky. “It has to be earlier than the previous speed-up point.” After observing the current situation, Tamamo Cross immediately made a judgment... If she waited until she entered the fourth bend to accelerate, Oguruma would have reached the best acceleration point... And at that time, the super small bay will most likely accelerate to complete the fourth turn and make the final straight sprint. If you accelerate at that time, your chances of winning will be much smaller, so... "The leading horse girl has entered the fourth turn. The decisive moment has come... Wait! Is Tamamo Cross accelerating now?!" The Tamamo Cross at the back took advantage of the fact that the horse girls in front hadn't reacted yet and rushed forward at an astonishing speed... The little chestnut hat came in from the passage between them and was right in front of him. The hurried footsteps coming from behind also made the horse racing ladies in front realize that their opponents were starting to speed up. No matter what their previous plans were, they had to start speeding up at this time. "Tamamo-chan...I won't lose!"
Listening to the sound of Tamamo Cross's footsteps trampling on the grass and feeling the pressure coming from Tamamo Cross, Oguruma lowered his body, exerted force with his feet, shifted his route a little to the outside, and began to accelerate. Xiao Limao moved to the outer circle, which was also a helpless move. The horses she was good at needed to be in the middle and back of the herd... However, she was easily blocked when she accelerated and sprinted. Her ability to find flaws on the spot was still a little poor, so she could only choose to break through from the outer circle. But it only moved a little bit outwards, and it would not affect her own acceleration... On the contrary, because the space ahead is more spacious, one can increase one's speed to the maximum...so all in all, it actually doesn't have much impact on Oguruma. The changes in the herd of horses behind also gave the female racehorses in front a signal that it was time to speed up. For the female racehorses in the lead and in the pack, the most comfortable acceleration circle is when they are about to finish the fourth turn and enter the straight. Now that they have just reached the middle, they are forced to accelerate. Super Xiaohaiwan was the first to accelerate. The explosive power from her previous intensive training and her relatively abundant physical strength at this moment made her not afraid of accelerating at this moment. She was confident that she could rush to the finish line at her highest speed. "Little Chestnut Hat, Super Cove has also chosen to speed up!" "The fourth turn has been completed. Tamamo Cross is now in the sixth position, Oguri Hat is in the third position, and Super Cove is currently in the first position." "Oguruma and Tamamo Cross continued to run strong and moved up to the second and third positions... Now they are about two lengths away from the first place Super Bay, and there are only the last 250 meters to the finish line!" "Oguri! Come on!" Oguruma's mother and Kitahara Joi, who were standing next to Chihiro Higashino, were cheering for Oguruma. Chihiro Higashino didn't shout... but her two hands were tightly holding the guardrail in front of her. "I don't want to lose! I must win!" The three horse girls competing on the field gritted their teeth and squeezed out the last bit of strength from their bodies to sprint. No one was willing to give up in this race. "It's the last 100 meters! The three horse girls are now almost in a straight line! Super Cove is in the lead! No, it's Ogururo! No, Tamamo Cross!" Seeing such an intense match, the commentator was also ignited, not at all... Looking at his colleague next to him, he pressed his body against the glass in front of him and opened his mouth to speak quickly. "Final sprint!" “Cross the finish line!” "And the winner is..." "Little chestnut hat!" Chapter 39: The Luckiest Horse Girl Some people say that the horse girl who wins the Gaoyue Sho is the fastest, the horse girl who wins the Kikuka Sho is the strongest, and the horse girl who can win the Japanese Derby... is neither the fastest nor the strongest, but the luckiest... "And the winner is..." "Little chestnut hat!" The two horse girls were almost eliminated at the same time, and it was impossible to see clearly from the commentary booth... Therefore, the commentator confirmed the winner of this year's Japan Derby based on the information conveyed by the Horse Racing Association at the first time.
Tamamo Cross, Oguruma, and Super Little Bay, the three horse girls stood together, panting, looking at the number six that appeared on the electronic screen. She narrowly beat number seventeen Tamamo Cross by a nose, while Super Little Bay lagged behind Tamamo Cross by half a horse length. "I lost..." When the results of the competition came out, Tamamo Cross and Super Bay felt a little disappointed... but they still sent their best wishes to their friends as soon as possible. "You win this time, Xiaoli." Oguruma shook his head and looked at Tamamo Cross seriously. "This time your track was too far outside. I won by luck. Next year's Autumn Emperor Award, Tamamo, Little Bay, let's compete again!" Tamamo Cross waved his hand: "If you lose, you lose. There's nothing to say." Super Bay smiled and said, "That's settled then."
